My kids have finally been able to add their touches to the vast pink wasteland of pinkertown. The store on the left w/ brown roof and green porch awening is my 8 year old son's first building w/ glue :). He did a great job!! Annie, Clarabelle and Thomas go round outside a tyco F7a that i've...

:) i am going to try one or both of your suggestions w/ some nscale snap track i have. I've been suffering from a creative block/apprehension when it comes to layouts. I can play int eh desgin programs fine hehe, but actually operating the layout i come up w/ is another issue, so i think i'm...

That is a really good idea :), i've got tons of that stuff laying about. You don't have any issue w/ current drop over longer runs w/ the switch machines?

Took me a bit but i found a picture of the multimaus :) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/L-K-ROCO-MULTIMAUS-for-DCC-Digital-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ280100302270QQcategoryZ19138QQcmdZViewItem I like it .. but i'm also hooked on digitrax's 2 dials :) i like 2 trains at once.

What did you use the cat5 network cable for? Was it power feeders or just led's?

Believe it or not i got it from other gauger's!!! They helped me design the track plan!! I have it in right track 7 and the person who helped me says i can send it to you if you want it. You can also take a look at this thread to see where the track plan started and how it's progressed into a...

Yes, you can control just about anything w/ dcc and the proper decoder. There is a thread here: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=25967 and here: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=9715&highlight=stationary+decoder A good bit of reading i know but it's worth it. Here are a couple...

Did you ever pick one of these up?

I wouldn't mind that at all :) i like the digitrax but the buttons are small, and the screen could be bigger. I've often wondered why they don't have "soft" buttons, you can reprogram functions and many other things in the unit so why not be able to remap button functions ;). Now that you've...

I've been wondering how long it was goign to take for the back lit oled screens or even lcd screens to make their way into our digital cabs. I wonder why we don't have touch screen color controls like the logitech harmony 890 universal remote has...

WOW!!! :cool: What is that!?

I'd like to post to say thanks! It all worked great. I have a red led for each section's turnout.

You know what, i thought they were boxcars!! :) haha.

Ran the feeders soldered them gapping the track in a few minutes. I even got the led's figured out and will be installing those at the same time. One thing i've gotta say out loud: DCC is the way to go!!! While i'm having fun wiring this up dc, dcc is soooooooo much easier!!

O.k. so i've been noticing a trend in my behavior. Everytime i see a train i think "what would that look like on my layout" :0. hehehe not only that but i've been noticing trains everywhere. It's almost like when you are going to buy a car and all of a sudden you notice that everyone else had...

How would i deal w/ the crossing? It is wired to bring power from one side to the other in a straight line not a dog leg. Edit 3/30/07 I went downstairs and looked at it: Silly question :) i was thinking perfect world where i would have the two corn kernel looking things separate at the x, i...

The digitrax system can be programmed in decimal or hex it's the user's choice :).

I have the digitrax super chief and recently picked up a zephyr for my 8 year old to help me run my trians on my layout. It took me about 3 months to choose a setup i didn't get a chance to touch any of them before chose, I mainly read reports from other users, asked questions here and then...

Yup just about hahha :) could you elaborate a little? If i understand you correctly that was my intention was to have the oval be a loop and the figure 8 be a loop. Currently i'd only have to gap two sections of track to make the left side right side and "cross bars" be separate blocks. I think...

I own the 10mp version of this camera. I can tell you that it takes some phenominal pictures!! http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=13019 The 6mp version (the one in the link) is essentially the same camera, just a slightly lower resolution...
